Multiple Terms Probably Spell Trouble

In isolation, some of these terms could be innocent. For example:

  • I am going to buy some skittles.
However, if one of more of these terms are used (especially if the context seems odd), then you should investigate. For example:
  • There will be lots of cake and Tina at the party.
  • I am going to buy some skittles from the candyman.

  • Is part of a conversation about Class A drugs.
  • Is using Class A drugs.
